[Guide] CS-Source/ZARP Content
7 years 11 months ago #494402
After becoming staff I've noticed an insane amount of people who regularly make F1s and ask for help on how to obtain the textures for SSRP, so I've decided to make a guide as I'm too lazy to repeat the same things countless times.
I'm sorry if a post like this already exists but as i couldn't find one I decided to make one.
Now onto the guide:
1) Counter Strike Source Content-
Theres two ways to get the CS Source Content, either to pay for CS source or to download it for free; I'll be explaining both of these.
Paid Method-

If You've paid for CS Source on Steam then you're on the right section.
First of all make sure CS Source is actually installed on your computer, you'd be surprised about how many people forget this part.
Secondly, make sure you've actually enabled CSS in Gmod:
To do this you go the main menu
- Press the controller button
- Scroll down/up to Counter-Strike Source and make sure the box is ticked
- Upon doing this, rejoing the server and any missing textures should be fixed
Free Method-

Like most people, if you haven't bought CSS and you dont want to waste around £10 on it this method is for you.
To start, I'd recommend watching this video, Its close to a step-to-step guide but some parts are missed out
Once you've downloaded the content you'll need to un-zip the folder, this can be done using any "un-zipping" software but if you have none I'd recommend 7Zip as the rest of this guide will be based upon this, making it easier for you to follow.
For those who don't know, you need to install either the 32 or 64 bit version of 7Zip depending on your OS
Once you've installed 7Zip, open the program and follow the following pictures
Once opened you need to navigate to where-ever the content was downloaded to, this is usually in your downloads folder.
Once you've found the folder, click on it then press the extract button, once you enter this menu press "Ok", this should begin the unzip.
Once extracted, you need to find the unzipped version
Then you need to paste the entire folder into your Gmod addons folder:
Firstly you copy the folder, then enter the following line into the address bar: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons
As you can see the first 2 parts of this are highlighted red, in the case of your Steam folder not being in the default location you will need to change find your folder manually:

To find the location of the Steam folder you will first have to search your PC for the folder location (if you dont already know it.
Input "steam" into the search bar and wait for the folder to be found
From there click on the folder and paste the rest of the command in or follow it manually.
After finding the locations of your "addons" folder simple paste the folder and enjoy your textures!
2) Zarp Content-
After obtaining the CSS content you'll need the custom Zarp content pack.
